Is anyone in America other than rich white dudes excited about this? Like is Trump's poor white base in favor of this? I haven't seen any reporting and am genuinely curious
Well this is how it is being covered on Trump's favorite TV show:
Skip to 6:45 to hear Tom Price claim that this will provide healthcare for every single American.
Watch through to the end if you want to see them lavish praise on the president. Gotta feed that tender ego!
Mr. Gianforte's attempt to appeal to two different audiences - Montana voters skeptical about the House's repeal bill and Washington Republicans eager to undo President Barack Obama's signature domestic accomplishment - illustrates the complicated politics surrounding the health law. While Republicans expect their elected officials to fulfill their longstanding vows to tear up the Affordable Care Act, the broader electorate is uneasy about abandoning the law's protections and benefits it has come to depend on.
There have been a lot of lies told about the AHCA, this is nuts.
And Clinton won his district by 3 pts.
Registered nurse Dotty Nygard will challenge Rep. Jeff Denham in the Central Valley's 10th Congressional District.
“I’ve lived and worked within this community for 24 years and feel I can actually lend my voice as a strong voice to my constituents,” said the 60-year-old who lives in Tracy, Calif.
Nygard, a Democrat, is an emergency room nurse at Sutter Health in Sacramento and a member of the influential, progressive California Nurses Assn.
Nygard said she was drawn to the race because of attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Denham voted for the House GOP repeal bill last week), her concerns about the environment and climate change, and a desire to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
“My advocacy for my patients goes far beyond the bedside,” she said. “I can’t idly sit by and watch the things that are happening.”
A 30-year-old investor will challenge the Central Valley's Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) in 2018.
Turlock native and Democrat Josh Harder announced a bid for the 10th Congressional District on Wednesday.
Harder is a vice president in Bessemer Venture Partners' San Francisco office, where he focuses on investment in software, mobile and telecommunications. He moved back to the district, where he grew up, a month ago and will step away from his role with the company during the campaign, he said.
Harder has master’s degrees from Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and a bachelor in economics and politics from Stanford University.
He wants to focus on job creation and economic opportunity in the Central Valley, pointing to people like his brother, who he said is still looking for a full-time job after five years of searching.
All sides worked on it: freedom caucus dipshits, trumpian morons, and establishment pussies.
I thought Maloney was Obama in that first picture.
